3 Having a failover connectivity strategy is all about ensuring your services stay online 24/7. 4G LTE offers unmatched data speeds and ensures connections don t drop, making it the most reliable backup option for retail chains, branches, and kiosks that can t afford to be offline. Though 4G LTE wireless provides new connectivity options, not all wireless backup choices constitute a best-in-class solution. Page 2

4 OPTION 1 Integrated wireless router There are a wide range of routers on the market with cellular technology built-in. Although compact and lower-cost, the drawbacks include: Poor wireless reception and RF interference in noisy IT closet No way to remotely reset, update, or configure attached equipment using backup connection Depending on the router, limited firewall and routing capabilities A single point of failure OPTION 2 Wireless USB Although economical, the small built-in antenna in a mobile broadband USB stick will have trouble acquiring a signal with all the RF noise typically found in an IT closet. Other drawbacks include: No SNMP network management system visibility to your wireless USB status Few 4G LTE USB stick options to choose from No way to remotely reset your router Page 3

7 What happens when an IT update or configuration change freezes the router? Normally a technician would need to perform a manual reset. But with the terminal server capability of a wireless gateway, you can remotely reboot the attached router. This provides the assurance that the network operations center, no matter where they re located, can quickly respond to IT failures and avoid expensive truck rolls. Additional features to look for when selecting your 4G LTE wireless gateway Look for one that allows you to remotely manage all your airtime subscriptions. Ensure you can get visibility into airtime usage and when failover occurs. Check that it supports reliable static route to avoid wireless data charges when the wired connection is available. Make sure it will automatically fallback to 3G when 4G LTE networks are unavailable. Ensure it can be easily configured and managed remotely. Page 6
